Yup this, nazis were fighting soviets so basically in the eyes of the finns, they were liberated, same with the majority of the baltics.
Soviets were a much bigger problem for eastern europe than nazis. But nazis ended up being just as bad.
Speaking as a baltic guy, for us the best rulers were swedes. We have been ruled by swedes, danes, russians, germans and poles. And we only have one saying here “good old swedish times”.

Finland stood pretty much alone against Russia at least compared to the support Ukraine has gotten and has.

In Poland we do learn about the Swedish Deluge, but I think these days people mostly think of swedes in terms of meatballs and furniture.
They did have their callback to Viking times, that’s for sure.
